Monica Findlay is a Glasgow based maker exploring her interest in the material presence of the past through contemporary jewellery and narrative objects. She uses tactile techniques to test the possibility to trigger nostalgia through manipulated materials. Etched textures and delicate wirework replicate and emulate inscribed memories. Embossed traces convey the absence of passing objects that once were in contact with the surface. Precious and non-precious metals emphasise habitual traces that are often overlooked, extending curiosity from maker to viewer. Bringing together storytelling and archaeology, Monica explores tangible remains, their surface qualities as touchstones of memories both ancient and modern.
